Famous quotes containing the words threepenny and/or stand:
“A man who sees another man on the street corner with only a stump for an arm will be so shocked the first time hell give him sixpence. But the second time itll only be a threepenny bit. And if he sees him a third time, hell have him cold-bloodedly handed over to the police.”
—Bertolt Brecht (18981956)
“To stand on common ground
here and there gritty with pebbles
yet elsewhere fine and mellow
uncommon fine for ploughing
there to labor
planting the vegetable words”
—Denise Levertov (b. 1923)
